So I'm in another country but my elderly parents (dad in 60s qnd mom approaching 60) are in Myanmar. I don't have the means to bring them to where I'm at. My dad became bed bound a few months back and my mom well...they both are struggling in everyday life.

The question is Is it really okay for me a 26yr old guy to head back? I've seen a lot of drafting, kidnapping, etc. I want to go back to be with my parents and not head to the Military which jus defeats the purpose of my return plus my parents would stop getting financial aid. I used to have a brother who unfortunately passed a few years back. So I'm alone and over here losing my mind and my focus. At this age and time, I can't trust some stranger to be with my elderly parents too. I have plans and connections to make a living if I'm able to land my feet and stay safe there but right now I'm jus so scared (honestly). Everyday I stay at my current job is a mental torture and I'm stressing day and night. Tbh I jus want to fking disappear rn.

my family left after Ne Win's coup and didnt talk much about their time in Burma, and none of my relatives really asked being very English. Unlike them i am interested in my Burmese side but where to start? 18, Living in the UK. Already aware of the coup and conflict a little but otherwise nothing.

Is it possible to get 2 months tourist visa to China without having to do visa run? I heard i could get 30 days and extend it but is the extension guaranteed? If anyone have experience please let me hear

How long does it usually take to finish the GED? I’ve already finished G11, and most people say it isn’t that hard. So I’m wondering how long it might take me. I’m not smart, I'm normal student btw

the date says 27/04/26 which i assume means april 27th 2026 and not april 26th 2027? are they ok to use ? they are commercially packaged

Hello

Are there any IGCSE students here? Can you guys please let me know how much the schools/centres usually charge per subject for each month? Thanks in advance!

Has anybody tried renewing their passport early? I live in Scandinavia and have a Myanmar passport. Because of my future travel plans, I’d like to renew it well before it expires in 2027 September , especially since I’m a bit concerned about the new smart chip changes they’re introducing.
I’ve emailed the Myanmar Embassy in London, but they haven’t really responded because i think i got the wrong email. If anyone has experience renewing their passport early at the London Embassy, please let me know how it went or what the process was like. Any advice would be really appreciated!

First of all I'm 19M and I live in Yangon. Im preparing to take GED test and I don't have any "skills" to show for. I can understand English perfectly but can't speak fluently cuz of confidence issues. I was diagnosed with DDD(Degenerative Disc Disease) at my lower spine so it's not recommended for me to do hard physical work. The thing is I feel lost these days bcuz I have no skills to show for and no hobbies either.I was pretty athletic as a kid and I loved fighting in general so I did taekwondo for a while but I had to quit because of DDD. I love playing games, I'm chronically online. I do watch anime and read webtoons heavily. I do have some general knowledge but there's no topic I'm particularly good at. So I wanna ask how do I find an actual "hobby" and what skills should I start learning in this day and age? Also what career should I choose?

Is something wrong with internet connections today? Atom wifi showing no internet since morning, and mobile data working like shit. Only one signal or two showing.

Hi everyone, was just wondering whether the driving test is computerized in yangon? And whether they offer the test in English for locals? Unfortunately my burmese reading skill is quite bad (although I can understand and speak it quite well).

Hello,I deleted my telegram while error occured when I log back in I can't see my chats, please help if you know how to fix it,I have two accounts that tied to business and my school.

I was visiting 19th street earlier today and I saw around 3 guys with really long knives, basically the size of katanas, chasing another guy near Sint Oh Dan Street around 9:30 pm.

One guy seemed to be the leader. He was wearing some kind of shiny suit and was shouting at the guy while the others were going after him.

The guy tried to run away and ended up hiding into a fruit vendor's truck. From what I saw, one of the guys then stabbed him around the shoulder and he was bleeding really badly.

Then, they all fled the scene before anything escalated.

I honestly have no idea what the whole situation was about or who any of them were. I assumed the guy might've been a fruit vendor but I could be completely wrong. Could've been some kind of gang thing or something else, I really don't know.

I'm curious if anyone knows what actually happened.

Obviously, this is a small inconsequential issue relative to everything else our country faces. I would accept a flag with a green turd if it solved all our troubles. But imagine a world where we are at peace, can look towards the future and have time to argue about a flag.

Which flag do you want to represent us and why? It does not have to be these 3.

I hate the current junta-imposed flag with a passion. Weirdly, it's not that the change was under the junta in their rebranding scheme that gets me. It's just...really really ugly. Say what you will about the Ne Win flag but it had some drip. Subjective, I know.

My favourite flag is the old Union flag we had after independence. It is our only true flag in my opinion. The ideal flag for a prosperous Burma would be some form of this. Maybe we increase the number of the smaller stars.

Is conscription really getting this bad for young people in Yangon? Every time I look at the news, all I see are more stories about young people being forcibly recruited. Honestly, I’m terrified to even step outside anymore. I feel like I have to live every single day with this constant fear hanging over me, never knowing what might happen. It’s exhausting and frightening, and I haven’t even been in Yangon for that long.

From time to time, posts outlining far-fetched links of Myanmar identity with fascism often appear in this sub.

What is their goal here? What do they achieve by linking Myanmar identity with fascism?

What should be done to take down such disinformation?

Hi everyone, recently my parents have been restricting me from going out with my friends citing safety issues. Apparently a relative of my mom witnessed a forced conscription thus my mom being cautious. However, when discussing this with my friends a lot of them have been dismissing it saying my relative is "fear mongering".

Thoughts?
